The Columbus Blue Jackets have activated Ryan Murray (back) from injured reserve and they've sent him to the minors on the conditioning stint.

Murray has missed each of Columbus' last 34 games because of the injury. He'll play a few games in the minors before jumping back into the lineup at the NHL level. The 24-year-old has one goal, five points and a plus-7 rating in 24 games this season. Feb 17 - 5:34 PM

It was Murray's first skate with the Blue Jackets in quite some time. He last played on Nov. 27 and it's not clear when he'll be able to return. Still, this latest development is encouraging. Feb 8 - 1:35 PM

Nick Foligno picked up two goals and one assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Foligno's first goal cut his team's deficit to 2-1 late in the first period, while his second tally tied the game early in the second frame. He also registered the primary assist on Jack Johnson's goal later on in the middle frame. Foligno finished the game with a plus-2 rating, four penalty minutes and three shots on goal in 16:36 of ice time. He has 13 goals and 13 assists in 57 games this season. He's now scored three goals in his last three contests.

Brandon Dubinsky scored a goal but the Columbus Blue Jackets fell to the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Dubinsky's goal tied the game at 2 midway through the third period until Nicklas Backstrom scored with just 42.9 seconds left to give the Capitals the late victory. It was Dubinsky's first goal since December 1st, and he now sits at four goals and 13 points in 35 games.

Lukas Sedlack will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Sedlak missed time with an ankle injury earlier this season, but it's the first time he'll serve as a healthy scratch. He has four goals and three assists in 41 games this season. Dean Kukan will also watch the game from the press box.

Artemi Panarin scored a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night.

Panarin now has points in back-to-back games for the first time since January. The Jackets scored at will Saturday, adding goals from Matt Calvert, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Nick Foligno, and Josh Anderson. Panarin now has 15 goals and 45 points in 55 games this season.

Boone Jenner found the back of the net in Friday's 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

The Blue Jackets forward managed to put his 12-game goal drought to bed tonight. Jenner's goal at the 4:30 mark of the second period tied the game at one, but it ended up being the only offense the Jackets could muster in this one. The 24-year-old finished the game with a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal and three hits in 17:14 of ice time. He now has five goals and eight assists in 44 games this season. Cam Atkinson and Dean Kukan picked up the helpers on Columbus' only goal.

Atkinson's goal at the 16:32 mark of the third period tied the game at one and eventually forced overtime. Unfortunately for the Blue Jackets, Sean Couturier netted the game-winning goal for the Flyers in overtime. Atkinson finished the night with a plus-1 rating, five shots on goal and one hit in 18:53 of ice time. He has picked up seven points in 10 games since coming back from a foot injury. He has 10 goals and 10 assists in 42 games this season.

Bjorkstrand had only one assist in his previous 13 games so perhaps this was a confidence builder for the 22-year-old. He has nine goals and 29 points in 55 games and has some fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Josh Anderson scored a goal and picked up an assist in a 7-2 loss to the Boston Bruins.

Alex Wennberg, Jack Johnson and Anderson combined beautifully on a tic-tac-toe to end Tuukka Rask's shutout bid midway through the final period. Anderson is now up to 13 goals and 21 points in 33 games this season. He is four goals away from surpassing his career high set last season.

Jones has been the Blue Jackets top defenseman this season and has eight goals and 36 points in 55 games with a plus-three rating. Last season was a career best with 42 points including 12 goals and while he may not break his goals record, his points record is about to be broken. He is a must-start in most fantasy leagues.

"It's never good to let things fester, hold everything in," Johnson said. "I've been holding a lot of things in for many years here. Yeah, it's out. I own it, and I have nothing to hide. That's the situation. Like I said before, you're just trying to do what's best for your family … I think any husband or father can relate to that." Johnson is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and he's looking to sign what could be his last big contract. Meanwhile, his role with the Blue Jackets has declined this season, in part due to his inconsistent play, so he feel that an opportunity elsewhere might be best for him. As far as Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella is concerned, he trusts Johnson and understands where the blueliner is coming from. It doesn't seem like Johnson's trade request will make things awkward and as long as he's with the Blue Jackets, he should continue to do his best.

The Blue Jackets found themselves down 1-0 heading into the third period, but they got the game-tying goal from Cam Atkinson. Unfortunately for the Jackets, Flyers forward Sean Couturier scored the game-winning goal in the extra frame. The loss drops Bobrovsky's record to 24-18-5 on the season. He has a 2.44 goals-against-average and a .920 save percentage this season. On a positive note, he has a 2-0-1 record in his last three games and he's given up just four goals during that stretch.

Columbus outshot Toronto 57-28, but they still didn't come out on top. The Blue Jackets netminder opened the game by allowing the Leafs to score twice in 7:36. His teammates rallied to tie the game at two, but the Jackets still couldn't complete the comeback. Korpisalo now owns a 5-6-0 record with a 3.15 goals-against-average and a .903 save percentage this season. He doesn't have an ounce of fantasy value right now.
